"None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent
or commanding except when he listens to the whisper which is
heard by him alone." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

When Judith Kleinfeld's husband first heard the whisper
calling him to a new frontier, Judith decided to embrace this
new challenge. While Andrew was pursuing his dream of becoming a
senator, Judith created new intellectual trails in the
unexplored territories of Eskimo, Indian, and Aleut childhood
education. Through her research, she was able to encourage
positive change in the Alaskan education system. Together,
Judith and Andrew Kleinfeld discovered "the frontier
strategy."

"Go For It," is not only an example of how two
people ventured out into the unknown, it is also a guide for all
Americans who want to find their own frontier and make a
significant contribution to society. Judith Kleinfeld takes what
she has learned from living in a physical frontier and shows how
frontier living can also be a state of mind. She even explains
how you can "homestead the electronic frontier."

One of the most intriguing aspects of this work was the
entire concept of a "frontier." The American view
seems to be a unique in so many ways. When I looked up
"frontier" in my thesaurus, I was surprised to find:
border, boundary, confines, edge, limit.

This book is not about limits, it is about expanding
"borders", not seeing "boundaries," breaking
out of "confines" and boxes, being on the
"cutting edge." Perhaps it is about not even seeing
limits. "Go For It," is a book about freeing the self,
finding your true calling, and exploring new and as yet
undiscovered intellectual, physical or spiritual territories. It
is truly an exciting study of the American psyche.

"Go For It" is also filled with captivating stories
of how Americans made their mark, how they expanded their skills
and how they became more resourceful and inventive. I loved the
story about the golf course with a den of red foxes, the couple
who won a homestead in Alaska's land lottery and the story of
the girl who dreamed of standing on icebergs in the night with
her dark hair flowing in the wind. There is a sense of romance
and many journeys to a frontier start in the imagination.

"In Alaska, the northern lights shimmer in the night,
swaying in great canopies of red and green, blue and purple,
silver and gold. As I sit at my computer … the sun is rising
over the blue mountains. Bare, black aspen trees shoot into the
sky and the clouds hover, filled with delicate shades of rose
and purple light. You feel expansive. Your ideas match the
mountains." ~pg. 98

Judith writes with an optimistic sense of purpose. She has
found a place of authentic happiness and knows what it takes to
lead a satisfying and successful life. She asks questions to
encourage you to take the first step, then she shows you how to
find or create your own frontier. There is also information on
"what you need for your journey" or "how to
become a frontier angel." She also explains "how a
frontier works" and "how to steer clear of the
dangers." This book will show you how to develop new
talents, use the talents you already have to accomplish more
than you thought possible, start over in a new location or find
your frontier in your present location and increase your
confidence level so you can live your dream.

Judith and her husband are living their dreams. Judith is now
a professor of psychology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks
and her husband, Andrew Kleinfeld, is a judge on the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Their three children have also
found their own frontiers in experimental theater, bioethics and
consulting.

Judith also writes a bi-weekly column in
"Heartland," and has been featured in the New York
Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the Chronicle of
Higher Education, and Psychology Today. She has appeared on
National Public Radio and has been interviewed by national and
local television and radio.

This book is really on the cutting edge. According to the
National Federation of Independent Business, small business
optimism is soaring to new heights. The U.S. economy also seems
to be heading in a positive direction as American businesses are
able to make new investments due to tax relief. Even consumer
confidence is on the rise.

Now is the time to read: "Go For It." Judith has
written a trail guide for the world of frontier living. This
book will give you an added boost of confidence, so you can make
your dreams a reality.
